The weather was always one to ruin romantic dates that had been planned weeks in advance but Harry Potter had had enough things in his life ruined and he wasn't going to let this be another one.
Food basket, check. Food in the basket, check. Favourite foods included, check. Picnic blanket, check. Pre-checked that location was available, check.
Everything was ready to go except for his date - but he knew that they were just checking their hair once again. Like always.
"Potter," Draco Malfoy snarled as he walked - more like swaggered - up to the Gryffindor boy. "Going out in the rain?" he asked, motioning to the horrendous downpour.
"No, i'm not," Harry countered. "I've got another place in mind."
"Where?" Draco asked curiously and Harry laughed, stepping forward so that he was in Draco's face.
"Why do you ask, Malfoy?" Draco stared into the emerald eyes for a few moments longer before they flickered to his lips, silently pleading. Harry granted his request and pushed their lips together. "I don't know why you insist on acting like we used to; everyone knows that we're together."
"Old habits," Draco answered with a shrug. Harry merely rolled his eyes before grabbing his boyfriend's hand and leading him to the Astronomy Tower. Once at the top, Harry settled the blanket down, the basket in the middle and both boys sat on either side. "So what goodies have you go in there?" Draco asked and Harry grinned, rummaging around.
"We've got sandwiches, pumpkin pastries." As Harry declared each food he'd packed, he brought them out to rest on the blanket. "Apples and-"
"Ooh, I want an apple!" Draco interrupted, snatching the basket and searching it for his favourite snack. There wasn't anything. "I thought you said you packed apples."
"I did," Harry mumbled around a mouthful of food. "They taste delectable." Draco looked up to see his boyfriend munching on an apple. An apple that had apparently been the only one packed.
"Share please?" Draco pleaded, eyeing both the apple and his boyfriend with lust.
"No. First come, first served," Harry announced, taking another bite of the fruit.
"Excuse me?" Draco asked, shocked. "Apples are my favourite food!"
"So? I'm eating it now."
"Harry, what do you love?"
"Doughnuts," he commented, looking at Draco as if he was insane for thinking otherwise.
"What was your first love?"
"Doughnuts," Harry said, nodding at the thought of the food.
"What makes your heart skip?"
"Doughnuts."
"Don't you understand, Potter?" Draco hissed. "That's exactly the same for me but with apples! I'm telling you, give me that fruit now or so help me, I'll burn every doughnut that you ever come across."
The remainder of that apple was delicious.
